Doris M. Sage was born and raised in northeastern Vermont, a French-English area of Vermont. Her first language was French and exposure to these two cultures was the right setting for her to thrive. The topography of the land lent itself to listening to nature and creativity. As a young adult while traveling away from Vermont toward what she believed to be “greener Pastures”, she realized that the land she loved she’d left behind. She returned to the lakes, hills and valleys of Vermont and now writes Children’s Books. “Elephants Cry Too!” is the first in a series of books entitled WE ARE All ONE.
